Did Adele Lose Weight With The Help Of The Sirtfood Diet?
However, Adele has refuted claims of adhering to the diet, attributing her transformation to a rigorous exercise program that includes strength training and boxing. With that in mind, we're exploring what the "Rolling in the Deep" artist has shared about her impressive health journey and weight loss.
The Sirtfood Diet, as reported by Good Housekeeping, limits many high-calorie, nutritionally poor staples, such as processed snacks and sweets, yet it has often astonished inquisitive dieters with its distinctive inclusion of red wine and chocolate. In recent years, this regimen has gained significant popularity, partly due to rumors that Adele had embraced its stringent approach to initiate her own weight loss journey.
What Else Adele Has Said About Maintaining Her 100-Lb Weight Loss Over The Years
In 2021, during the promotion of her fourth studio album, 30, Adele shared with British Vogue that she deliberately changed her perspective on health to reach her weight loss target, a goal she reportedly set in 2016. She also discussed how she had been managing her body image and the public's response since 2020 and into the future.
The "Set Fire to the Rain" vocalist debunked rumors that she had tried "intermittent fasting," and told the outlet: "People have been talking about my body for 12 years. They used to talk about it before I lost weight. But yeah, whatever, I don't care." Adele continued, sharing more about her healthy mindset: "You don't need to be overweight to be body positive, you can be any shape or size." She went on: "If anything I eat more than I used to because I work out so hard."
Regarding the exercises behind her slimmer figure over a two-year period, Adele also dished: “So I do my weights in the morning, then I normally hike or I box in the afternoon, and then I go and do my cardio at night.” The mom of one (who shares son Angelo, 9, with her ex Simon Konecki) told the pub that her main focus was on improving her mental health through regular exercise, which coincidentally resulted in weight loss, but that was not her primary objective.
"It was because of my anxiety. Working out, I would just feel better. It was never about losing weight, it was always about becoming strong and giving myself as much time every day without my phone. I got quite addicted to it. I work out two or three times a day," she revealed. The "Skyfall" singer also stressed that she had the help of trainers and acknowledged that this may not be "doable for a lot of people."
Although the "Turning Tables" artist mentioned to the fashion magazine that she didn't adhere to any trendy diets and simply focused on eating well, Adele did admit that she treated herself to an indulgent meal at least once a week. She was also open about what that indulgence entailed. "My ideal meal, my death row meal, my last meal, would be a McChicken Nugget with a Big Mac and then fries," she confessed, adding: "That's my three-course. I eat it at least once a week."
It's also well-known that Adele enjoys a glass of rosé and has even comically mentioned accumulating it during the Covid-19 pandemic. "My first emergency run at the grocery store was for Whispering Angel and ketchup," she joked. "Whispering Angel turned me into a barking dog. It did not make me whisper." Overall, since her major weight loss, Adele has consistently impressed fans with her refined fashion sense and sculpted physique (especially during her recent Las Vegas residency).
